This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet · found on this site
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Lúčnica holds a leading position in the Slovak cultural sector, leveraging its historical legacy and artistic excellence. Its business model centers on cultural promotion, live performances, and merchandise sales. The organization benefits from partnerships with governmental and private entities, enhancing its credibility and reach. The website supports multiple languages and integrates social media channels, reflecting a mature digital presence. Growth opportunities include expanding digital engagement and enhancing security transparency. The partnership ecosystem is robust, with sponsors and cultural institutions backing the ensemble.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, GDPR-compliant cookie management, and updated JavaScript libraries. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and a dedicated security or incident response page indicates areas for enhancement. The lack of a security.txt file limits vulnerability disclosure transparency. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could benefit from adopting additional best practices to strengthen defenses and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Create and publish an incident response or security contact page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update all plugins and libraries to minimize vulnerability exposure.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging to detect and respond to security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 3.5.1 and Photoswipe for media galleries. The presence of GDPR cookie compliance plugins and newsletter tools indicates attention to privacy and marketing needs. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with a clean navigation structure. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. The technical stack is standard for cultural organizations, balancing functionality and ease of maintenance. No critical technical debt or risks were identified, but security header implementation and hosting provider details could be clarified.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
